At night, there are still many people staying up late to work in Manhattan's busiest neighborhoods.If a company has its own office building in this place where every inch of land is at a premium, it means that it has sufficient financial resources and can always attract many people to serve it.In this city, ideals don't matter or anything, at least for money, ideals are chips that can be thrown away at any time.If you say that you stick to your ideals, it only proves that the price offered to you by reality is still too low.On Wall Street, the world's most famous financial mecca, on the top floor of an office building not far from Damon's Blacklight Investment Company, Ms.
Karen, who had been busy all day, walked a little tired in her office.The lady in her sixties kept herself very well groomed, and she looked like a woman of 40 except for her gray hair.She rubbed her shoulders as she walked over to the large couch, intending to sleep there for a while.She is a well-known workaholic in New York's high society, and her journey from self-made to famous businessman with her husband, who died a few years ago, is almost the most famous legend on Wall Street, constantly inspiring generations of young people to work selflessly to try to replicate this miracle.However, few people know that Ms.
Karen's success today is due not only to her own efforts, but also to the support of those "friends" behind her.She's a hydra.The legacy stemmed from her husband, the man she remembered had been a loyal member of Hydra since his father's generation, and after she got married, she was persuaded by him to join the wealthy and united organization.The "banker", who died of a sudden cardiovascular disease last year, is one of her best friends in business.And her code name in Hydra is "Baroness", and she has this title because her husband's family has the title of baron in the former *** German system.Oh, by the way, her husband, surnamed "Zemo".The Zemo family inherited in New York is just a branch of this ancient family, and it is said that there are still more orthodox Zemo family members living in Eastern Europe, but it seems that the main family over there has completely broken away from Hydra and lived an ordinary life."
Ma'am, I have a few questions for you."
Just as the baroness was lying down, a faint voice came from behind her.The old lady sat up from the couch and saw the intruder sitting in her office chair with her back to her, as if admiring the night in Manhattan.It was a man in a black trench coat and a worn-out cowboy hat.He wears black gloves and a blue-gray cane at his hand.It was someone the baroness had never seen before."
Who are you!"
The old lady stood up vigilantly, and she shouted, "Get out of my office!"
”"Well, you're trying to call the guards outside the door in, right?"
Merlin sat in his office chair, he turned, his hands resting on the table, his half-covered visor covering his face, and his eyes like ashes burning as he stared at the baroness, and he chuckled and said, "Don't waste your efforts. ”"You are the only living person left in this building that smells of snakes..."
Hearing this, a trace of fear flashed in the barone's eyes.After the banker's sudden death last year, rumors of assassins began to circulate within the Order, and news that a vicious killer was hunting down members of the Hydra Order, even caused quite a riot for a time.The Hydra Order includes not only warriors and conspirators, but also businessmen like the Baroness, who run the business to finance Hydra, and who are rarely involved in Hydra's machinations.But that doesn't mean they're innocent."
And don't expect someone to come to your rescue, I mean, you can tell yourself in peace...
You're dead. ”Merlin shook his hand, and a half-burned green mask was dropped at the baron's feet, the last traces left by Lady Hydra.The baroness could no longer contain the fear in her heart when she saw the burnt mask, she rushed to the bookshelf, drew a pistol, held it nervously, and shot Merlin wildly.But the bullets pierced Merlin's head and torso, hitting the glass behind him, which was immediately covered in shattered cobwebs.The sound of bullets echoing through the office, Merlin shook his head as he looked at the baroness in front of him, who had been overwhelmed by fear, and in the midst of the silent smoke rolling, he crossed the table and the furniture in the office like a disembodied ghost, and in the blink of an eye, his left hand with a Dementor kiss was clasped around the baron's neck, pinning her against the wall behind her.Hope, happiness, contentment, these comforting emotions are frantically absorbed, and as an ordinary person, it is difficult for her to resist when faced with a magical object like the Dementor Kiss.As cold despair was poured into her heart, her will swayed like a candle in the wind."
I have a lot of respect for women and the elderly, but unfortunately, you are not the innocent ones."
Merlin looked at the blank eyes, and with a flick of his wand, the Dementor Charm was applied to the baroness in front of him.The next moment, Merlin's will entered the old lady's spirit without hindrance, and those shining memories opened the door to him.Lady Hydra is dead, and the curse that remains in the baronesse's soul is unactivated, meaning that Merlin can read her memories until her soul collapses.A picture quickly appeared in front of Merlin's eyes, the baroness was supposed to be taking care of her company's affairs, and then a phone call came.Judging by the calendar time on the table, that should have happened the other day."
The problem of the Dead End has been solved."
A man's voice rang on the phone: "Those samurai are being sent to the base in the Caribbean, and you take over the rest, Baroness." ”"No problem, clairvoyant."
The baroness said with a normal face: "According to the instructions of Your Excellency 'Disciple', those warriors will be taken care of 'properly', you can put them at the logistics point in Arizona, and there will be someone to deal with them." ”"Speaking of which, have you spoken to the 'Doctor' lately?"
The man known as "Claireye" asked again, "About the Death Warrior Project...""
I don't care here, claireye, you should know, I'm just a businessman."
The baroness replied decisively: "If you have any doubts, you should go directly to the 'disciples' or 'doctors', one of them is in the base and the other is in New York, you should know better than I know." ”This is where the memory ends.Merlin grabbed several key names from it.Clairvoyant, disciple and doctor.He used these three names as key information, and quickly searched the baronesse's remaining memories for memories related to these three people.Soon, he made a discovery.First of all, Clairvoyant is a very mysterious fellow, almost never attending meetings within Hydra, in the Baron's cognition, he is one of the commanders of Hydra, and like Lady Hydra commands magical forces, Claireye is responsible for commanding Hydra's military forces.And the disciple, this is also a more mysterious guy, as far as the baroness knows, he seems to be a researcher, and he has a very high status in the Hydra organization.He is one of the leaders of the three major factions, and it is said that he is one of the students of Red Skull, the leader of Hydra in Germany, who hid until the 90s after Germany's defeat in 1945.The only thing that is certain is that the disciples were in New York and had their own power.He had commissioned the baroness to help him find something called a black obelisk.And about the last doctor, he has quite a lot of information.He and the baroness were good friends in private, and the two had a very presumptuous and passionate relationship when they were young, which, of course, was developed in the shadow of the baronesse's husband.Merlin even figured out the doctor's real name.His name is Liszt...
He is the spokesperson of the big man in North America on the European side of Hydra, and he is also a researcher, mainly studying genetic science, and the base destroyed by Merlin is presided over by Dr.
Liszt.But at the moment, the baroness didn't know where Dr.
Liszt was, she just knew that the Doctor had been urgently summoned back to Eastern Europe before Merlin destroyed the base.It was likely that something important had happened, and it had allowed the doctor to escape.The baroness who was strangled by Merlin had already entered a dying state, and Merlin did not show mercy to her subordinates, the kind of almost search-style memory search, so that the soul of the baronet, an ordinary person, was on the verge of collapse.But Merlin did not stop, on the contrary, the moment before this evil soul was about to collapse, he once again intensified his search.He's going to unearth more secrets about Hydra!
There was a soft "bang" in Merlin's consciousness, like the sound of a soap bubble bursting.Merlin's consciousness returned to his body at this moment, and before his eyes, the baroness with a broken soul had completely lost her life.Her expression was pained, indicating that her death was not so peaceful.But Merlin also got the news he needed.At that last moment, he saw a rather strange picture.The baroness stood with the other Hydra executives, and they were in a very strange place, looking like some empty warehouse and some base.In front of them, there was a black rock with several holes in it, and several people in full spacesuits and heavy equipment were standing in front of the black stone, as if waiting for something.In a flash of the picture, the solid black rock turned into a strange liquid state in an instant, involving the astronauts and those supplies who were caught off guard.The tumbling black liquid returned to its solid form in the next moment, turning into the hole in the rock again.It's like a ritual.A ritual of sacrifice.Merlin couldn't figure out what the hydras were doing, but in the baron's memory, he saw a sign on the wall of the warehouse."
Project Far Star."
Merlin rubbed his swollen forehead as he pronounced the name of the symbol he remembered, and next to it, there was the NASA logo.This finally gave Merlin a clue to start."
What's that stone?
Those who were sent, why did they wear spacesuits?
And, what exactly is this ritual for?
”"The more you know...
The more doubts there are.Really, it's terrible. ”On the other side of ———————————————, in the cold Caribbean night, in the ruins of the destroyed island base, a seagull folded its wings and landed on the ruins, as if it was too tired to fly and wanted to rest.And the moment it fell, a scorched hand suddenly poked out of the ruins, grabbed the seagull that caught it off guard, and the next moment, the creepy chewing sound sounded in the ruins.It's like a voracious ghoul hunting.A few minutes later, a figure staggered out of the rubble, hunched on the beach, and after a dozen seconds of running, he plunged headlong into the icy water.He was hungry, he was thirsty, he was miserable, he was weak.He had absolutely no idea what was going on, but he knew that if he didn't eat again, he would die.Not the kind of silent fake death, but a real death.But he still had his senses, he knew that the sea water could not be drunk, he held his breath, and dived into the water, and under the washing of the current, the scorched marks on the surface of his skin peeled away quickly, revealing the smooth skin beneath the scars, and on the new skin, there were some fine, barely noticeable scales.A few minutes later, he grabbed the fish in both hands and bit a fish in his mouth, and walked out of the water naked.On his right eye, there are still horrific scars left by the explosion, but the rest of his body has been completely reborn in that strange new life.His mind was still a little dazed, but that didn't stop him from skillfully finding some usable materials in the ruins, and began to barbecue the fish he had caught in the cold night.The big bald head, who had lost all his hair in the explosion and flames, sat quietly cross-legged by the campfire, rubbing his hands on his forehead with a mess of memory, recalling what was still remembered in the chaotic mind."
My name is...
What's going on?
”"Wade?
No...
That's my cousin's name.My name is...
My name, Slade?
Right!
Slade. ”"I was caught experimenting...
They torture me, Hydra!
Be sure to kill them all!
”"I have some friends, Baptiste, Emily, who else?
Ash, McRae...
Wait, no!
I forgot something, no...

There are some things I don't remember!
”The man held his head, and he tried his best to remember the past, but the brutal experiments and devastating explosions had clearly taken away a part of his memory, and he had a hard time recalling.After a while, amid the aroma of the grilled fish, the hungry man gave up thinking, he picked up the grilled fish, and while eating, he chattered to himself: "Forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it if you can't think of it."
It has to be something bad to be forgotten, and I'm happy now. ”"Well, let's talk to my cousin first, he might tell me something about the past, and then go to Hydra to save my friend...
I should have an organization, I forgot what it was called, but it doesn't matter, I'll give it a new name..."
He raised his hand and looked at the remaining layer of black keratin on his arm, he tore it off his skin and threw it into the fire, he looked at his arm shaking in the dark, and after a moment, he whispered, "Just call it Black Hand!"
No, the black hand doesn't sound good, well, the black claw, right!
Black Claw is good!
”"It doesn't matter what I did before, anyway..."
He took a bite of the grilled fish, and in the night, he moved his shoulders and said in a low tone, "Black Claw, will rebuild the empire of the death knell!"
